12 Days Of Kiwi Christmas.
We were learning about kiwi things we use, and do for christmas. This may include jandals, pavlova, barbeques and lots more.
I found it hard to agree with what we would include with our 12 things for christmas.
I found it easy to find the perfect images from the explore tool to put on my slides.
Next time I will not argue with my group about our backgrounds.
Made by Ceejay, Toby, Addison, Olivia and Cassidy.

My Media Graphic
We were learning about what is real and what is fake, and how to tell if something is real or fake.
I found it easy to think of a famous person to do my quote on, so I chose the legend himself, Stan Lee.
I found it hard to find a good quote to use because there are so many, so I went with "Sooner Or Later, If A Man Is Ever To Be Worthy Of His Destiny, We Must Fill Our Hearts With Tolerance"
Next time I will try a bit more to blend the picture of my hero into the background a bit, so it looks a bit more real.

Guy Fawkes Acrostic Poem 🎆
We were learning about the story of Guy Fawkes, and the origin of why we celebrate it.
I found it easy to think of a word to make into a poem, like BONFIRE or FIREWORK..
I found it hard to think of words for my acrostic poem, because I find it challenging to find a word or a sentence that starts with a specific letter.
Next time I will try to add more words that rhyme, because I think that it would sound really cool.
Nga Ahua: The Maori Shapes. ❒⚫△
We were learning about the names of the maori shapes, and he different types of shapes.
I found it easy to copy the names off of our site to put on my slide.
I found it hard to get the names right. At one point, I mixed up a Parallelogram with a Pentagon!
Next time I will not take forever to finish my work, because it took me 2 weeks.

Fake Clickbait Postcard From Alaska (No.2)
We were learning about what is real or not real, and what people can do online.
I really enjoyed Making myself into a snowman!
I found it challenging to find the right images of Alaska, and to make it fit with my dog and I.
It was easy for me to polyline my snowman and writing the letter to my Dad.

Athletics Day Reflection.
I Loved the athletics day. My favourite part was the long jump, and the ball throw. I think I could of practiced a bit at my house, and put more effort into my practice. I was feeling quite confident on some of the things, but some other things just weren't my thing. I was very happy to see lots of my friends get their rewards, because they all earned it. Next time I should try more harder to do the scissor kick at the high jump, and to aim a bit better on the ball throw. I was never really interested in athletics before, now I've grown into it a bit. I am very excited to do athletics next year.

The Maori Colours. Nga Tae
We were learning about the names of the maori colours, and how to pronounce them.
I found it easy to understand the names, and to remember them all to put on my slide.

Next time I will add more things for the colours like the sign language.

The Environment Is Our Responsibility
We were learning about how to write a persuasive script to persuade someone to agree that the environment is our responsibility.
I found it easy to get my ideas down onto the doc, and to think of a good opening statement, and a closing statement.
I found it hard to think of different topics for different paragraphs, and to have them all based in New Zealand.
Next time I will try to make the paragraphs longer and to add more detail so the reader will agree with my idea.

The Wild Lab Writing.
We were learning about recount writing, and Editing and Recrafting. I found it easy to do the editing. To fix all of my spelling mistakes, and my grammar. I found it challenging to do my recrafting. it was hard to bump up my sentences with better words, and take out bits that didn't really need to be in the story. Next time I will try to write less. I have a habit of writing whole a page as a paragraph.

About Me Writing
My name is Toby. I go to Awapuni School.
My family originated from both Scotland and Ireland.
I live with my Dad in one house, and with my
Mum in the other house.
I think that I am good at most things about technology and
chromebooks,
and stuff like that. I find a lot of math challenging.
My goal for this year is to learn how to do division.
so I can buy a Nintendo Switch Lite console.
I am also looking forward to My mystery holiday
that I'm going on with my Mum.
We are doing it later this year during the
school holidays.
I am looking forward to seeing my cousin's
that are coming to Gisborne soon. T
he person that inspires me is the person that has
created the awesome game Minecraft.
His name is Notch, and he inspires me to keep on
pushing on and don't give up while coding
and making video games.
